I know this isn't late breaking news, but I just finished watching this DVD for the first time and I thought it was pretty informative.
Unfortunately I thought there was going to be a lot more playing on it than there was, but there were a lot of speeches and praise. Don't get me wrong, Gadd deserves props and it's awesome that he got recognized, but when it comes down to it, I would rather listen to him play than to people talking about him. That is my only real criticism of the dvd.
You do get to listen to Rick Marotta and Colaiuta tear it up for a while at the ceremony, which is great. Also the vintage footage of Gadd is really cool. It's not high quality video, but the playing is all great. I really liked the section on L'Image, and I wish I had an album of theirs, but I'm not sure that they made any, does anyone know?
....just curious as to what other people thought of this video.
